Bath repair in Auchendinny without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Auchendinny and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Auchendinny

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
